Descriptions

McAfee Email and Web Security (EWS) 5.x before 5.5 Patch 6 and 5.6 before Patch 3, and McAfee Email Gateway (MEG) 7.0 before Patch 1, does not properly encrypt system-backup data, which makes it easier for remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information by reading a backup file, as demonstrated by obtaining password hashes.

McAfee Email and Web Security v5.x (EWS) antes de v5.5 Patch 6 y v5.6 antes de la revisión 3 y McAfee Email Gateway (MEG) v7.0 antes de la revisión 1 no cifra apropiadamente la copia de seguridad del sistema, lo que hace que sea más fácil obtener información confidencial para los usuarios remotos autenticados mediante la lectura de un archivo de copia de seguridad. Por ejemplo con la obtención de hashes de contraseñas.
